UNC Stat of the Day:


Citizen-Times.com: Carolina cover boy - Rashad McCants garners national attention  
This article is from the paper in McCants' hometown (Asheville). It has the usual analysis of his behavior/personality. Here are some interesting tidbits:

"The 6-foot-4, 207-pound junior who turned 20 two months ago has scored 1,193 career points, the fifth-highest total ever after two years in the ACC."

"If he stays at Chapel Hill through his senior season, remains healthy and averages his current career number of 18.4 points per game for 60 games, he would become the school's all-time leading scorer, passing such famed names as Phil Ford, Charlie Scott, Billy Cunningham and Michael Jordan."

"He also displays a new tattoo on each arm - "Born to be hated" and "Dying to be loved."

"As he has on several occasions the past three years, McCants declined an interview request by the Citizen-Times for this story. A spokesman for the UNC sports information office said McCants will only grant interviews following games."

"I think everybody has mood swings. Rashad just has more mood swings than anybody I know." (high school friend of Rashad)
